jv16 PowerTools 2017 Release Candidate 2

tullik

File Cleaner with default settings

Anomalies:

1. The directory "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\Cache\" contains only a single hidden file.

2. Attempts to explore any file in the "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\..." directories gets an "Access is denied" message.

3. Often, when you left-click near the end of the list, you get a beep. A right-click produces multiple beeps. The list becomes unresponsive except for the click induced beeps. You can minimize the window, but then it can't be restored. All you can do is close the task via a task bar right-click/close.

Thank you for this report! A lot of interesting data in the Backups. One question: According to the data in the Backups zip you sent, you seem to be running at least two anti-virus products (Kaspersky and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware). Have you added jv16 PowerTools to their exclusion lists? If not, can you please do that and see if that solves the problem?

Yes I checked it and in both programs and also in SuperAntiSpyware Pro I´ve added jv16 PowerTools RC2 to exclusions, but problem i still there! And it also occured when I used The Clean and SpeedUp My Computer, when search finished I clicked return button instead of fix button the program opened homeview and in one sec Debug window opend with "An error occured in the application" So a new copy of backup is included here.

I am trying the registry cleaner feature in RC2. That feature works well in RC1 and JVPowertools X. However, in RC 2, the procedure hangs at the end of the analyzing phase, after all procedures are done. I let it go maybe 5 minutes. Will also send zip of backup folder as instructed.

Hitting the ESC key closes jv16 no matter what the program is doing. ...

Both confirmed.

It only took me five minutes to decide to uninstall RC2.

I ran the check for vulnerable software, or whatever it is called. It gave one result: CCleaner. It said it was an old version. However, checking Piriform website, I have latest version.

When I uninstalled it, the RC2 folder remained in ProgramFiles/x86 with several subfolders and files. That is not what I consider 'uninstalled'.

I see the same behaviour (like Arctucas) for the check of vulnerable software.

Also CCleaner and Thunderbird (both the latest versions installed). On Win10.

Kind regards,

I was trying to use the "Clean and Speed up my computer" function. It displays the green check marks for all categories but does not complete. The "working" wheel stays on forever (hours, anyway)

You are right that the main program uninstaller should remove everything and not leave and leftovers. I have two programs that will run the main uninstaller and then look for leftovers on the harddrive and the windows registry. One question. You said it leaves leftovers on the harddrive. Does it leave leftovers in the windows registry too?

What error does it display?

Displays following:

The Windows error code 5 is the error ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, which means jv16 PowerTools is asking Windows to delete this file but Windows returns an Access Denied error. I don't know if there is anything we can do about that.

The problem was in the way the software processes product versions, the old version of CCleaner with a known vulnerability is version 5.02.5101 and the latest version is 5.20.00.5668. As you can see, they changed the format of the version number by adding one more element, this confused the version number comparison.

Confirmed and fixed, thank you for reporting!

Assuming you checked to also uninstall the Backups and Settings with the uninstaller (unchecked by default), the only way I could see this happening in a case the background process of jv16 PowerTools happens to be running the exact time when you start the uninstaller. But in that case, the uninstaller should give you an error message of the files being in use. Did it? Also, do you remember what folders and files were left behind?

If you run the Clean And SpeedUp My Computer with the Check for vulnerable software unchecked (checked by default), does it work then? You can uncheck it from the main Clean And SpeedUp My Computer's start screen, where you find the aggressiveness setting and the Start button.

Reference the warning statement about anti-virus programs shown at the bottom of the attached pic, Malwarebytes Anti-exploit is not an anti-virus program. In my case, Norton Security or Avira Internet Security are my anti-virus programs depending on the computer. It would be technically correct to say "anti-virus or anti-malware", not just anti-virus, to encompass such programs as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot, etc.

I did as you said in second reply and unchecked the Check for vulnerable software and all tests went OK after uncheck. But the problem in my earlier report still remain.

No leftover registry entries that I can find.

Thank you very much! This helps us to pinpoint the problem. We are working on a fix.

Hello all!

I wish there was a possibility to copy a directory-tree (tree alone, no files). Is this possible?

Kind regards,

P.S. and pay attention to the filerecovery. It doesn´t find everything as I mentioned already before! :

P.S. 2 This post should be in the feature-request thread...... :

Clean and speedup has been running for 1 hour+. All the arrows have turned to checkmarks, but found items don't display. I've added the Re: jv16 PowerTools 2017 Release Candidate 2 folder to exclusion lists in both Malware Bytes and Defender, and unticked "find vulnerable software".

At least this time, it found that I do actually have installed software.

jv16

An updated build of the RC2 has been released. The new version is 4.1.0.1592. You can download it from here: https://www.macecraft.com/downloads/betas/jv16PT2017_RC2_1592.exe

It contains the following changes:

Fix: The Clean And SpeedUp My Computer can freeze while scanning (never completes), or crash to an Access Violation error.

Fix: The Check for vulnerable software can show false positives, that is, it recommends you to update a software even if you have the latest version.

Fix: Uninstalling jv16 PowerTools can leave files behind to its installation folder in the case the uninstallation was started while the software's background process was running.

Fix: The software can display an error message about "File I/O error", especially when just installed.

Fix: Startup Timer's window caption is not correct.

Improvement: Changed references of "anti-virus" to "anti-virus or anti-malware" to be more exact.

Improvement: Small updates to the user interface of the Startup Timer.

NOTE: If you are running an older version of the RC2, you can update by installing this version over it without uninstalling the old version first. If you are using any older version of PowerTools, do not try to update by installing this version over the old version.

Build 1592 seems much, much more slow to open/render its windows. It takes 6-10 seconds for the main window to render as an example when starting jv16. And this is on a system that is a very fast gaming computer with a Samsung 950 Pro NVMe M.2 512 gbyte main drive, i7-6700k CPU running at 4.2 ghertz, 32 gybtes of very fast Jig Saw DDR4 ram and loads of capacity.

Plus PreWorker1 hangs around in RAM using 12.5% CPU for a good 30+ seconds after closing jv16...
